Personal Statement I have always been passionate about the natural environment and its conservation. After completing my undergraduate degree in Environmental Science, I looked for a career that would enable me to have a more active role in its preservation and understanding. Studying landscape architecture has allowed me to design meaningful spaces in which people can enjoy being outdoors in a way that respects the natural environment, combining my personal and professional interests. My key areas of interest include resiliance to climate change and managing the landscape in a way that allows it to support both nature and the increasing human population. This portfolio contains some of the key projects that I have worked on since beginning my career as a landscape in 2017.

PROJECT BRIEF:

Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment and Landscape Character Assessment to determine impacts of engineering works and inform mitigation and enhancement landscape proposals.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

DETAILED DESIGN

LVIA and LCA of impacts of proposed works and associated tree loss for inclusion within a full Environmental Impact Assessment for the project. Existing access and amenity provisions analysed. Access Audit produced, identifying key areas and opportunities for wider improvement as part of mitigation for the works. Concept development of site wide mitigation and enhancement opportunities based on site analysis and assessment. Design development of proposals selected by the client from initial concept opportunities identified. Final proposals detailed and submitted.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

In progress. Landscape proposals for the area focus on improved seating and accessibility, and ensureing no net loss of trees and an overall increase in biodiversity. A more concise family of elements is proposed, reusing timber and slate materials from felled trees and the existing flood defence, these will be used to create a range of bespoke elements for the scheme such as gabion basket and timber seating.

ASSESSMENT Annotated photographs were produced to support the landscape and Visual Impact Assessment and Landscape Character Assessment.
